shaq, what was the rest of senator booker's message there in charleston?at there's a current and historical connection between gun violence and the rise in white supremacy. he uses very solemn backdrop to strike a very serious tone and really focus on that connection and focusing on gun violence. he said that in this period of time in dealing with white supremacy it's not a question of who is or isn't racist but whether who is or isn't doing something about it. so for senator booker, that means gun control. and aggressive gun control, going beyond what you normally here, which is the ban on assault weapons or the ban on high capacity magazines and establishing a federal gun loansi licensing program and limiting the a. guns a person can by to one gun per person per month. he says this is an issue of national security and he wants to denote vote the resources dealing with it. >> shaq, i spent some time with the pastor of mother emanuel a couple months ago on the fourth anniversary of that terrorist attack there. and we talked about how that church is hallow
